Michael Owen believes Newcastle will make it nine games unbeaten in the Premier League against Southampton tonight.
Only Liverpool are in better form than the Magpies right now, with Eddie Howe’s men winning five of their last six fixtures. Newcastle have not tasted defeat in the league since the 4-0 hiding suffered against Man City in December - an astonishing feat considering where the club was at the turn of the year.
However, they face a stern test at St Mary’s as Ralph Hasenhuttl’s side, too, boast an impressive unbeaten record of their own. The Saints have not lost at home since September 26, as the Magpies look to end a 12-game run that has formed the backbone of a solid top-flight campaign.
